Probiotics
Yoplait yogurts contain a blend of prebiotics and probiotics that are designed to help the digestive system. Acidoliphilus and bifidus are bacteria strains common to yogurt, but Yoplait also includes a probiotic known as Bifidobacterium, or Bb-12. Yoplait Plus contains at least one billion Bb-12 that are active to form colonies. This type of Yoplait yogurt also contains 3 grams of inulin, a prebiotic fiber that acts as a catalyst for Bb-12 in the digestive tract.
Protein
Protein is necessary for your bones and muscles, and it’s an effective way to help curb your hunger. Most Yoplait yogurt contains 10 grams of protein. The kids’ yogurts such as Go-gurt and Trix have 4 grams of protein in them. For even more protein, you can try Yoplait Greek, which has 14 to 17 grams of protein in each 6-ounce serving. The other types of Yoplait yogurt have between 4 and 9 grams of protein.
Fiber
Fiber is an important part of your diet; it helps lower cholesterol and aids in natural digestion. With each serving of Yoplait Fiber One, you'll get 5 grams of fiber, equal to 20 percent of your daily fiber intake. Fiber One contains 5 grams of inulin, more than other types of Yoplait. Most types of Yoplait yogurt contain 3 grams of inulin as a prebiotic, but it's also a soluble fiber found in certain types of seeds.
